MODEC develops new offshore repair method for FPSO hulls December 23, 2020, by Nermina Kulovic
Japan’s FPSO specialist MODEC in December 2020 obtained approval by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for the new offshore repair method for hull structures of floating oil and gas production facilities such as floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels as an original standard repair method.

The new method has been developed jointly with Toray Industries, MODEC said on Wednesday.
According to the FPSO specialist, difficulties may be encountered from time to time in carrying out adequate maintenance at offshore for hulls of floating oil and gas production facilities that are producing oil and gas at offshore generally for more than 20 years without dry-docking.
